The correct answer to the question: Which prediction is best supported by Mrs. Hale´s speech and actions?, would be: Mrs. Hale will hide the evidence from the men.

Explanation:

"Trifles" is the one act play from Susan Glaspell, that was first presented to the public in 1916. The play narrates the events that take place during a murder investigation on the property of Mr. and Mrs. Wright, as it is suspected that Mrs. Wright might have killed her husband. During the search for information, the group of men and women, including the county attorney and sheriff, the sheriff´s wife, as well as Mr. Hale and his wife, find a series of clues on the issue being investigated. However, the definitive evidence that would have convicted Mrs. Wright is found not by the men, but by the two women, who from the very start were treated condescendingly be the men, as if they were of inferior intelligence. In the end, Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters, who find the dead bird, that would have cracked the case open, decide not to inform the men about what they have found, because Mrs. Hale feels that Mr. Wright brought this upon himself for being abusive and cruel to his wife.

Explanation:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
